Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. .SYNOPSIS...A weak ridge across the northern Gulf will linger through Thu in advance of Beryl, now approaching Jamaica in the west-central Caribbean. Major Hurricane Beryl is near 17.1N 76.1W at 11 AM EDT, moving west-northwest at 16 kt. Maximum sustained winds are 125 kt with gusts to 150 kt, and the minimum central pressure is 952 mb. Beryl is expected to maintain a W-NW motion and weaken slowly, moving inland over the Yucatan Peninsula Fri morning near 19.7N 88.2W, and weakening to a tropical storm. Beryl is expected to emerge off the western Yucatan Peninsula near 20.5N 90.7W Fri evening. Beryl will then turn more NW and strengthen to a hurricane over the Gulf near 23.5N 96W Sun morning. There remains some uncertainty in the track and intensity forecast of Beryl over the western Gulf of Mexico this weekend. Interests in the southwestern and western Gulf of Mexico should monitor the progress of Beryl. Gulf of Mexico N of 26N W of 87W .THIS AFTERNOON...S winds 10 to 15 kt.
